The 15 Best Films of 2015

January 5, 2016 Marc Aces
The Best Films of 2015

I'm often able to squeeze in a dozen or more films in the last couple weeks of December - mostly stuff that others have told me is worth checking out that I either missed when it came out in Chicago or titles that simply never came out locally. I hope you dig the list and that it gives you some ideas for purchases, streaming, rentals, and most importantly, going to the theater and checking them out on the big screen (a few of these are still in theaters). I saw a lot of good movies this year, so condensing this to 15 was not easy...

Star Wars The Force Awakens Movie Review (Spoiler-free)

December 18, 2015 Marc Aces
The Force Awakens Movie Poster

The movie's good. Damn good, actually. Besides one noticeable throwaway mention early in the movie there's almost nothing from the prequels on display. It's clear as crystal this is a course correction and a direct continuation from the original trilogy. Nothing negates the prequels, mind you, so prequel fans don't need to get immediately defensive. No, it's just that the focus is squarely on capturing the OT tone, sense of fun and adventure and continuing THAT story.

AQUAMAN Review
Film

After decades of getting treated like a pop culture punchline, thanks almost entirely to “Super Friends” (with a little help from “HBO’s Entourage”), Aquaman finally has his own feature film. It’s a weird and at times trippy superhero adventure that strives — and almost succeeds — to be the most epic superhero movie ever made…

Venom Review
Film

“Good” and “bad” are certainly relative terms when it comes to Ruben Fleischer’s Marvel-based film, which focuses on an evil alien life form known as a “symbiote” that was originally conceived back in 1984 as an adversary for Spider-Man…
